We had a pt in one of our clinics who thought that the note on his meds (very important meds) that told him to keep them refrigerated meant he couldn't take them out - so he didn't take them!!!
Anyway, I already solved the problem by ignoring the warning and hoping room temperature didn't get above 25 C (77 F). It probably did, but what can you do?
well...find the coolest. darkest room, and then put the meds in the coolest, darkest, most bottomest corner - that's what i do with my carefully important German chocolate (beware of mice hough...)

No,that's the problem. If it were just "keep under 25 C" the fridge would be fine. But 15 C is 59 F, and fridges are usually around 4 C.
